Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17055.
2. The Defendant Dwayne E. Nance is an adult individual who resides at 2109

3. On February 10,2000 Pagie Thurber was residing at 429 Shelly Lane in

5. At approximately 6:00 a.m. Pagie Thurber left the premises to go to her car
which was parked in the driveway.
6. Pagie started the car to allow it to warm up.
7. Pagie then exited the car and traveled toward the end of the driveway to
retrieve the mail from the mailbox.
8. It was necessary for Pagie to walk on the driveway because there was no
sidewalk and no other route for Pagie to choose to get to the mailbox.
9. It had snowed earlier that week and Pagie brought to the attention of Dwayne
Nance that there was ice accumulating on the driveway.
10. Pagie on at least one occasion the week before she fell had cleared the
driveway of as much snow and ice as she was capable of removing.
11. Pagie specifically asked the Defendant to put salt or some other chemical on
the driveway to remove the accumulated ice. The Defendant refused that request even though he had
the chemical in his basement.

12. Pagie offered to put the salt or chemical on the driveway herself. The
Defendant also refused that request, stating that it would damage the driveway surface.

carefully as she could her right leg slipped and bent out, causing both her tibia and fibula to instantly
fracture.

right distal tibia and fibula was performed by Dr. Hamsher.

ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, August 13, 2002, this case having been
called for trial by John R. Statler, Esquire, Goldberg, Katzman
and Shipman, and the plaintiff having appeared pro se and having
requested a continuance from this trial list, plaintiff's
request for continuance until the November term is granted.
Ms. Thurber's prior attorney, Robert Claraval,
Esquire, withdrew from representing plaintiff in June 2002. Ms.
Thurber claims that she has been looking for an attorney to
represent her since that time, but only now has scheduled an
appointment with an attorney named Kurt Blake, Esquire, of 29
East Philadelphia Street, York, Pennsylvania. She claims to
have an appointment with Mr. Blake, who she indicates has agreed
to accept her case over the telephone, on August 28, 2002, at
6:00 p.m. at his office. The Court requests Mr. Blake to inform
the Court and defense counsel by letter after his appointment
with Ms. Thurber to inform the Court of Mr. Blake's appearance
or nonappearance in this matter.
The Court directs that the case will be listed for
trial in November without further listing by counselor Order of
